• This poster reports on the development phase of a collaborative research project with J. Lim, Speech-Language Pathologist (S-LP) from the Saskatchewan Health Authority. J. Lim initiated the development of a parent-child journaling activity to be integrated with local
  preschools. This collaboration was explored as a population-level, preventative approach to strengthen language and literacy development in a potentially at-risk region. Prior to pursuing broad-based implementation of the approach, J. Lim sought to develop a research
  study to examine (1) the effects and (2) the feasibility of the approach.
  Contributions of the current CSD 900 Group:
  (1) Development of background literature and rationale; (2) Support for development of methods: Program structure and study design; (3) Materials development: Consent materials, study questionnaires, training materials for parents and educators.
